Repeated sneezing is SO not a good thing...

Well, let me just say that if you girls see any allergy symptoms coming on, or a sinus infection, etc., just get out the Allegra and get to taking it around the clock ASAP! I was 2 1/2 weeks and actually seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, had done a tiny bit of housework, had eaten out with the family, was imagining driving again soon, etc. Then my DS (age 6) started sneezing and coughing last Friday, and next thing I know, I'm sneezing, stopped up in the head, feel like I've been hit by a truck, and find myself at the DD with an ear infection and a sinus infection.

Since then I have been SO incredibly sore that I've barely moved out of my chair, and can tell this has set me back a week in my recovery. I will try ANYTHING to keep from sneezing again now. It's the only thing I can think of that I've done that could have done this much damage. Had a check up with the GYN, and he said everything was fine (yeah, right), offered no explanation for why I'm going BACKWARD instead of progressing FORWARD!

Sorry to complain, but just wanted to warn you all, especialy with Spring upon us (in the south anyway).

I'm in southern Indiana and the pollen is out! I'm 4 weeks post op and I agree sneezing still hurts! I went to DD today and have a variety of stuff to help!!! (sinusitis, ear infection) Aren't allergies fun????

OOOOOhhh, I feel your pain! I'm in SC, and the azaleas and pines are starting to spew forth their green pollens. I had my first asthma attack the other night, and couldn't move the next day. Otherwise, I'm feeling ok. Take it easy, PUMP THE FLUIDS , and feel better soon!!
